This Year’s Stuff: Talk to Us! Other Years'
Stuff: |
August 1-3, 2008
This year our team grows by
one! Mike Quincy, another of our college clan, is joining us for this year’s
ride. Mike and Carl did the 1998 Boston-NY AIDS ride, and inspired David to ride
the PMC with Carl. The rest is history. With the support of our
generous donors, over the past eight years we’ve raised over $300,000 for the
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Jimmy Fund. This year we’ll be riding
the scheduled Pan-Massachusetts Challenge,
but ask that you’ll honor us with a gift to support cancer research and care. Dana-Farber
has repeatedly been ranked in the top 5 by US News and World Report for cancer care, and is four-star ranked by Charity
Navigator for its efficiency with your contributions. In 2007, the PMC
was ‘perfect,’ using none of your gifts to cover administrative costs. Prior
Years’ rides: - 2007:
Carl rode from the NY line. David joined him in Sturbridge for the formal
PMC. - 2006: Transcontinental.
Almost $170,000 raised. 3,600 miles over 38 riding
days during one of the hottest summers in recorded history. - 2005: we rode a bit more than the official PMC route, clocking
215 miles and adding CT to our list of states ridden. - 2004: in celebration of the historic 25th annual PMC, we rode
from David’s then-hometown of Cincinnati to join the PMC - a total of 1,054 miles over 11 days! (And
no, you don’t want to know about the saddle sores) - 2003, 2002: we rode about 300 miles by
adding an extra day and 100 miles, starting from the MA/NY state line. - 2001, 2000: we rode the official PMC route, 192 miles from
Sturbridge MA to Provincetown MA over two days. |
